We would like to share our experience & insights with students who are planning to come abroad for studying. We will be having discussions on topics ranging from appearing for language tests like IELTS, Toefl etc to GMAT & GRE. Also visa requirements, questions visa officers might ask, documentation and finally choosing the right university, writing essays etc.friends4uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15976831986738819822noreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23931597.post-45680616844326854182008-09-20T12:06:00.000-07:002008-09-20T12:28:51.656-07:00

With visa interviews starting soon for the Fall semester I thought it would be a good time to write a post on how to prepare for the visa interview and what to expect from the visa officer. The first thing that you have to keep in mind is that more than 80,000 students from India come to the US everywhere and there is no reason why you won't be one of them. So be confident that you are going to

NOW - Mar/Apr 2006 - is the right time to start making preparations if you are planning to come abroad for studies in 2007. Anytime after June, dates for exams like GMAT and GRE are far and few in between with waiting as long as 4 months.
